Jolly Jeeper Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Can we have an Indian vehicles board please? Only joking as I wanted to post a pic of this Jeep... It's a quasi-military vehicle but it keeps my real ones company! JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Jeeper Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Here's another pic. It incorporates parts from Mahindra, Viasa, Hotchkiss (three of the licence-built Jeep makers) as well as Willys. JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Jeeper Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Forgot to say; it bears a resemblance to the vehicle that appears in that adventure caper movie Sahara... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeEnfield Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 well I quite like Mahindra's.............. :-D drove a friends once, a lwb version, (I think) and was impressed just where we could take it, off road, before it 'belly'ed out', Seemed to be more comfy than the landy I had at that time, as well.

LeeEnfield Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Try this one. Anyone have any idea about markings? Right,..............KNEW I'd got pic, somewhere,................ :-) :-) 'Burma, January 1945: a truckload of men of the 36th Inf Div. drive past their GOC, Maj.Gen.Festing. The div sign on their hats is repeated on the tailboard of the Dodge !-tonner. (my note,........this sign is an interlinked pair of circles one white one red on black rectangular background.) The red-on-white '68' tactical sign also on tailboard identifies a battalion of the 72nd Inf Bde, in this case the 10th Glosters.' so now we know,..................... ;-) (this info came from British Battle Insignia 2 1939 - 45 Osprey men at arms series no 187) Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Andy, you're a gem. May you live forever and die Happy :angel: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I gotta agree with Enigma there. Not often we see female drivers. At the moment I'm trying to persuade my girlfriend to buy a Jeep. She's still not very happy with the green color. However she has no problem with the looks of it, just the color and that it is army. Should I go for a navy look instead??? :-D Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful for the weekly shop, if no space you park it top of a Nissan Micra, and if you do upset her you can sleep in the back. :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 There was and Indian bike for sale at War and Peace this year for approx £8k, all done up in it's war time colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Jeeper Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 I think we've got a bit of a geography issue creeping in here... Mahindras (licence-built Willys CJ-3Bs) and Indian Enfields (licence-built Royal Enfield Bullet 350) were made in India whereas Indian Motorcycles were made in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA (some of its later (post-WWII) products were made in England by Brockhouse and Royal Enfield).
